Yesterday sweet Peggy went into Enrichment Foster, so while she is away and getting a break from shelter life say hello to our (temporary) longest-term resident, Poppy!

Poppy is a year-and-a-half-old Boxer mix with the brightest smile and beautiful brindle coat. This girl has energy for days and would be the perfect companion for an active owner.

She is incredibly intelligent and knows to sit, paw, down, and catch, and is housetrained.

With her bright smile and loving heart, Poppy would be the perfect partner to join you on all life's adventures!

Update: Peggy is in Enrichment Foster!

This past weekend our longest resident, Ava Jr. was adopted! A wonderful day was celebrated and our team prepared to introduce you to the new longest resident, Barbie. However, before we could even move Barbie to her new kennel she was adopted!

So, allow us to (re)introduce you to our current longest resident at the shelter, Peggy!

Peggy is a year-and-a-half-year-old mix who came to HSEP this past February and is known for her sweet yet sassy personality. While she looks hyped up in the kennel, this girl is actually a moderate-energy dog. She loves to run around the yard or go for a walk, but after that, she loves to cuddle! You offer Peggy a toy, and she chooses to cuddle; offer her a bone, and she prefers to cuddle; offer her a treat and she'll eat it, then cuddle!

Peggy is manageable on a leash and shows strong signs of being potty trained. She would do best in a home as the only dog, though she recently made a friend at the shelter and we are working on her social skills. She has a sparkling personality and loves people, especially those who cuddle with her. Just like us humans, Peggy can get overwhelmed with a lot of motion, but when she has a constant - like her favorite people, she thrives!

Peggy's adoption fee is fully sponsored by PIMA, which means there is no charge for you at the time of adoption. Peggy qualifies for adoption or enrichment foster, a program designed to help get long-term residents a break from the shelter.

If you have room in your heart and home for a dog who will give you 110% love all the time, stop in to meet Peggy today!

If you can't adopt, please share Peggy's story with your friends!

Update: Nemo has been adopted but we still have so many adorable dogs who need a home just as much as Nemo did! Stop in or visit hselpaso.org to view all of our adoptable dogs!

Shelters can be scary, especially on an animal's first day - it's a new place, and they're scared. This statement could not be more true for Nemo, a 10-month-old Dalmation who is one of HSEP's newest residents and would love to find his forever home soon!

While he is currently overwhelmed, it's clear to see that Nemo has a world full of love to give to his people. He came from a foster home with other dogs and enjoyed playing with his foster siblings. Stop in to fall in love with Nemo today!

HSEP is open 11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Monday and Tuesday. Nemo is up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and neutered.

What a week! HSEP celebrated 25 dogs and cats going home last week, including our current longest resident, Ava Jr.!

When you adopt from HSEP you save more than just one life. You save the life of the animal you rescue and the animal that will replace it in the kennel! As our facility and waitlist are at capacity, when an animal is adopted it allows our team to bring in another to replace it - saving two lives! Take a step towards adoption today and come meet some of our residents!
